The night with eyes

 
The night is dark and eerie and no one is in sight. No lights in houses shine; only one street light glosses the sidewalk. A brunch nearby breaks off a tree. Wind is now all around me; it snarls and whispers in my ear. "Walk faster, get out", my mind tells me. Someone is watching me I can feel it. I trip and fall to the cold dead ground. Footsteps come towards me, but no one is there. I get up and run as fast as I can. The trees start to scream in the wind. Again my mind tells me, "Get out". There is a shortcut to my house, I run through the small path in the forest. Still I can feel someone's eyes are watching over me. No stars in the sky gleam down at me. Finally, my house is a few steps away. My body feels dizzy and my legs ache. What is happening to me? My body almost collapses to the ground, but I catch myself in the last second. I make it to the house and scurry though my front yard. A breath of relief comes to me. Too good to last, something as grabbed my ankles. My body plummets towards the front step and I hit my head hard. I can feel blood rushing down my icy cheek. My eyes go pitch black, and my body is completely numb.
